Need faster updates?

Make sure you follow my Twitter. I try and keep my blog updated as much as possible, and everything will ultimately end up on here, but for in-the-moment Gabriella action (plus some general stuff too) please follow my twitter @GabriellasHeart / www.twitter.com/gabriellasheart

Gabriella is in the ER tonight trying to diagnose and treat her high fevers and cough she's had. We have had an Xray, throat swap, 2 blood draws, O2 monitoring, heart monitoring... And haven't found anything conclusive yet. I will write tomorrow after we (hopefully) have a reason for all of this and after this exhausted and drained mama gets either sleep or strong coffee!

About Me

Gabriella was diagnosed in April 2009 with a severe and irreparable congenital heart defect, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. On September 25 2009, just before being listed for her new heart, she suffered a left MCA stroke, impairing her right arm abilities and taking away her speech. She was finally listed and received her heart after 97 days of waiting on May 17, 2010. Gabriellasheart.com has transitioned from a diary of our simple life to a log of Gabriella's status, and proves what a warrior she is.
